LCD Soundsystem Finish New Album

Now somebody get James Murphy a beer

Ever since he jumped on the Twitter bandwagon late last year, LCD SoundsystemfrontmanJames Murphy has been micro-blogging about working on the band's forthcoming record, and his tone's been getting persistently more exasperated. (Last week: "is so desperate to socialize with another human being not in a studio that he might go to the deli and buy a sandwich he doesn't want.") But this morning, Murphy chimed in with some very encouraging news, both for us and for himself: "mixing last song right now to send to the amazing bob weston to master. meaning, record DONE. i hope people like it." Jyeah!

On the official LCD site, Murphy was even more plainspoken: "looks like we added another paris gig. oh, and something else. the fucking record is done."

Meanwhile, Murphy's got a busy few months coming up. Alongside the album, he's also been at work on the score to the forthcoming Noah Baumbach movie Greenberg. And come April, Murphy will hit the road on a tour that'll take him to both sites of the Atlantic. Stops will include Coachella, Sasquatch, Bonnaroo, and our Pitchfork Music Festival. Dates below.
